Slashdot | Google Launches Desktop Search Tool

Slashdot | Google Launches Desktop Search Tool: "Google brings search to your very desktop with Google Desktop, a mini Google index of your own. Search your filesystem, Outlook or Outlook Express inbox, AIM instant message transcripts, and Internet Explorer cache. There's a full introduction to the Google Desktop over at the O'Reilly Network. It's Windows-only, but still cool enough for this Mac guy to find it intriguing.'".

I've been playing with this a bit this morning and it seems very cool.. combined with a quick search in firefox it is very powerful :-) although i'm a tad concerned about the security of it all... still, until my pc gets ownerized i think i'll keep running it.
